TSB Halloweenie Tini Time

Here is a fun card! I love the twist on the martini glass with this fun Glitterbabe image. You can find Halloweenie Tini over at The Stamping Boutique store.

 I found the perfect paper to go with this cute image. I colored it with Copics and added some Stickles to make it shine. I inked the edges with a lime green color.

The paper is some left overs that I have had for years now. It is amazing how many cards you can make out of a 12 by 12 piece of paper!

TSB No Pattern Paper

This week on The Stamping Boutique the challenge is no patterned paper. It is a bi weekly challenge so you have two weeks to enter.

I tried something new on this card. I am unsure of the background. I glued the layers together then used a template and sprayed gold mist all over it. It was a lot more gold than I expected.The picture below is without the flash.

I used one of the new Glitterbabe images. This is Pilgrim Girl. I colored her with Copics and hand cut her out. The sentiment is a Stampin Up stamp.

Scrapbook Months

I have been doing a lot of digital scrapbooking. I want to document my girls growth plus it is easy to do when she is napping on me. Here are a few of the MANY digital pages I have made lately.

 I used Photoshop to do my scrapbooking. I love digital scrapbooks. All the cute stuff without the mess and massive amounts of time it takes to do paper scrapbooking.

TSB Boo

Halloween is fast approaching so here is a little inspiration. I used some scraps of Halloween paper. I keep all my holiday papers in a clear pocket together so I do not remember the brand. I have had the same paper in the folder for years and never had to buy anymore. It is amazing how many cards a 12 by 12 piece of paper can make.

This image is a Glitterbabe called Boo Tombstone. You can find it at The Stamping Boutique's store. I colored it with Copics and added Stickles to the boo and eyes.

The inside sentiment is by Pink By Design.

 Here is a quick birthday card I made for a 6 year old boy. I cut the lego man out with my Cameo. He is a cut file from a blog hop SVG Files had given away.

Simple card but for a 6 year old you dont need a lot. He was excited to see the lego man on the front.

Here is the first card I have posted in awhile. My baby is 11 weeks old and starting to let me do a few things.

 This is Back to School Audrey. I colored her with Copics and added Stickles. I am a teacher so back to school is a big deal for me.

Break Time

If you have been following my blog you know that I have been awaiting the arrival of my baby. She is here! She was born June 14th and is perfect.

It is a lot harder to have a newborn then I could have ever imagined so I am taking a break from well everything but her. I am hoping to have some craft time again soon. But for now I would just like some sleep.

Picture frame

 I bought a frame for my brothers family for Xmas and wanted to add something besides just pictures.

 I put in these two sayings and basically scrapbooked the small sections.

I tied the ribbon around the glass then put it back together. I like how it came together.

Cards

Here are two cards I made a long while back and never posted.

The top card was from when I was on one of my favorite DT's Sew Many Stamps. They went out of business and it made me very sad. My coloring has improved a bit over time. I used my Spellbinders to cut out the oval and my Irock to add the gems to it.

This anniversary card was so pretty and I completely forgot to take pictures of it before I sealed it in plastic. I used my Cricut to cut out the cake.I added Stickles to the layers.

Birthday Cards

A friend of mine bought one of those make your own card kits and then of course never really used it. She gave it to me and I did not want to throw it away so I made some cards to send to OWH.

 All of the embellishments came from the kit.

 I used some DCWV birthday paper on all the cards. It is glossy and bright. I love it.

 I did add some Peachy Keen eyes on the balloons to spice them up a bit.

Male Turtle BDay Card

A simple male birthday card I made for my brother. I love turtles and this saying is fun especially for my brother. I added some distressed ink around the image. I used some manly papers and "screw" brads. Male cards are very hard for me because they are so boring for me. I love frilly and girly.

Owl box

I made this owl box from a Silhouette file.

I distressed the edges and used some fun DP. Such a cute little box.

Perfect for adding a little candy and giving as a cute gift.

Raiders Birthday Card

 Here is a very simple birthday card. Layers and DP pretty much sums this card up. I used Fiskar stamps.

I have made several Raiders cards for different fans birthdays. They are very simple to make and everyone always loves them.

Grad Card

 I made this graduation card using parts of the invitation I received from my nephews graduation. I used the insert for the front seniors page. I cut the year in a strip and used it on the front. I embossed some silver paper for the background and used his school colors for the card.

 I cut out the grad and cap with my silhouette.

 I used a stamp a bought at Hobby Lobby for the inside.

I cut the mascot out and put it on the back of the envelope. I used his name plate on the front of the envelope.

I did not have time to post this card after I made it so I thought I would wait to graduation time came around again. I hope it gave you some inspiration. My nephew loved that it was so personal.
